English
1 answer:
Sloan [31]3 years ago
6 0

The poem "Musée des beaux arts" by W.H. Auden was written as a response to Pieter Brueghel's "Landscape with the Fall of Icarus".

In this poem, Auden alludes to the human indiference towards other people's misfortune.

In the first section of the poem, Auden shows how humans go around not caring and paying little attention to the suffering in the world. According to Auden, neither children nor animals have enough sympathy to understand someone else's plight. But adults remain uninterested in individual calamity.

In the second section of the poem, Auden refers to Brueghel's paiting, by describing specific images of this dismissal of external suffering. How the ploughman "<em>may</em>" have heard the splash and how, for him, it was not an important failure.

In Grendel, what poetic device is used in the phrase "ragged little bands that roamed the forest on foot''?
dsp73
The correct answer should be alliteration.

Alliteration is repeating the same sound or cluster of sounds in consecutive words and here you have "ragged" and "roamed" and "forest" and "foot", repeating sounds R and F.

Which sentence creates a complex sentence from these two simple
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

D. After she had been in a terrible accident, Lupita never again asked

to drive the car.

Explanation:

Alternative A cannot be correct because it does not form a complex sentence

Alternative B cannot be correct because the meaning is not retained. The two sentences have a connection of cause, which is not presented here.

Alternative C cannot be correct because, despite the meaning is correct, <em>she </em>and <em>Lupita </em>here denote two different persons, while they are supposed to be the same.

Alternative D carries all the required parameters and is the correct answers. The connection between the sentences is one of cause and effect, and <em>she </em>and <em>Lupita </em>refer to the same person.

As you read the paragraph below, think about what conclusions you can draw based on
kondor19780726 [428]

The correct answer is B. President Truman was under intense pressure from the very beginning of his term of office.

Explanation

The excerpt begins with the subject of President Truman's decision to drop the atomic bomb. However, he later expands on this issue by arguing that after suddenly assuming the presidency after the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt, he had a lot of pressure, mainly because of the handling that he should have given to the issues related to the postwar period. For this reason, it can be concluded that the main purpose of this fragment about the early years of his presidency is to expose the pressure that Harry Truman had on his shoulders despite having a group of advisers, he had to assume the responsibility of being president, and all the consequences that this would bring him including the decision to use the atomic bomb. So the correct answer is B. President Truman was under intense pressure from the very beginning of his term of office.
